our creative producer travels from the us/mexico border of el paso to austin in the heart of texas. 

 

destination: the lone star state 

purpose of journey: spend time with family and friends 

never travel across texas without a pickup truck 

a favorite outfit you packed: i wore the same few layers every day aside for a fancy night out in austin with a sparkly dress and my red wings lol 

how many pairs of shoes: 1 pair of boots! 

what were you listening to: country mostly  

favorite meals: my sister made vegan sausage wraps for us one night whilst camping out in big bend..granted we were hungry but it was one of the best meals ever. and one night in austin my friend and i cooked for my family - coconut milk mussels, lemon garlic trout, and a dank salad
